It's the first victory for Zauralie since the 2012 edition

"In the first two games the team was a little packed . It is clear that the guys are still in the preparation phase of the season. The last match against Rubin, even if the opponent aligned mainly a junior team, showed that the guys quickly get what we require of them. There was a team game played with discipline" said Zauralie coach Albert Loginov, promoted this season as head coach after work as assistant last year, at the end of last game

Zauralie forward Yegor Korobkin, signed in the off-season from Steel Foxes Magnitogorsk, was the top scorer of the tournament with 4 points (3+1)
